Piedmont Pilot Contract Violations - ALPA CBA
 

I've heard stories of Piedmont Airlines not following the ALPA contract. Has anyone else been in this situation? Were you able to resolve the problem, and was ALPA helpful?

Be specific

Every airline will try and do that, especially with brand new FO’s. They know they aren’t up to speed on the contract and are still learning. Just be smart about your contract and they can’t get away with stuff.

Yeah, that makes sense. I suppose all regional airlines try to do the best they can with complicated contracts. Piedmont looks like a good regional to work for, and they are probably more family oriented than some of the others.

It's really not. You've got a lot less quality of life and flexibility at Piedmont compared to other regionals. It's a workhorse company (you average 70 more days at work a year than PSA) and they expect you to be available and will call you every day to get you to come into work if you're dumb enough to answer your phone. If there's a catastrophic personal issue they'll work with you somewhat, but otherwise they don't give a 💩 what you've got going on in your personal life, you're expected to be at work outside of your minimum days off.

If you go in and expect to work your butt off while you're there fine, but don't go in expecting it to be this happy place where employees feel like they're cared about by management.

Had to LOL at this. Welcome to the forums, management shill.
